You Know Not!

I am trying to lose weight. I am in fact on my way to losing 20 pounds. I’m almost halfway there. I’m not using any supplements or natural weight loss pills, I’m just counting calories. 1400-1500 a day. Counting, counting. I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that it’s a lifestyle change, yk? For the rest of my life, I will have to be at least passingly conscious of what goes into my mouth.

I am envious of people with nice luggage. When I graduated, my uncle gave me a nice set of hardsided Samsonite luggage in the most beautiful red. Some of it got stolen in Germany, and I spent over a decade with mismatched luggage and I hated it. I finally bought a cheap set from K-Mart, which at least made me look organized. And then in Vegas last year, I bought a pink suitcase big enough for me to fit in. I just enjoy knowing I have a big pink suitcase. So girly!!

I like traditional furniture. Classical furniture is too foofoo for our current lifestyle and “modern” furniture just confuses me. Of course, right now, my favorite style of furniture is hand-me-down. Perhaps you know it? We have two purchased-by-us pieces; a glider rocker and a regular rocker. Fortunately, they sell slipcovers at your local discount store, so it all “matches”. Well, depending on how you define “matches”.

Right now, I live in a mobile home, complete with vinyl shutters on the outside. Mine are the ones that are purely decorative. Now, I live in hurricane alley where actual real and true working wooden shutters would be both practical and useful, and I have always wanted them, because I think they are beautiful. But no one has them here. Do you know where I have seen them? Kansas. Go figure.

The very idea of eye surgery heebs me out. I could never have Lasik, because I am afraid something would go horribly wrong, and I would be blind. I know, that’s really unlikely, but you do only get one set of eyes, after all: Better safe than sorry and all that! OTOH, if I could afford it, I would totally have lipo.
